Like title say i made a svcd (cheech&chong) org.avi=640x273
made a 640x480 pal using tpmgenc :mpeg2 640x480 23,976fps CBR 2500bps, layer-2 44100Hz 160kbps file......
later slit in 2 cd's using tpmgenc mpegtools..
burn nero super video cd (Create standaard comliant CD = off)
so far ok it works on my homedvdplayer (yamaha520 philips patched for svcd/xscd)
but..... Lol when playing the svcd movie 2 problem acure
(sorry for my bad english i am dutch)
1 the movie = blokkie eeh the corners are people example are very square/blok/eeeh not round (sorry )
2 my tvset loewe 16:9 big black balk up and down (too much movie mode)
the first problem ik think is wrong seetings in tpmgenc (i think?)
the second problem mayby normal ntsc/pal convertion?
so main problem....= blokkie movie chanse cbr rate?
i did use calculator and set cbr to 2300 (then it was possible to put on 2 cd's....
i hope somewone will take the time to help me..)
the avi=perfect picture!
What did i wrong?
long story..... THX

nobody? =my cbr rate too high? still blokky corners...
anybody any advice or simeler problems?
thx -
well, first thing is that this is not IRC. Please don't expect to get an answer in a few hours. Just some food for thought.........
Here is the basic problem, you have a divx file, which is a highly compressed video format. What you tried to do is take the 640x273 and convert it up to 640x480 at 2500bit rate. The second problem is that the picture looks stretched because video modes on TV's are 352x240 or 720x480(to be full screen). If you resized it to 640x480, it will look stretched.
I believe that you probably have a low resolution divx file(you mentioned that you are dutch, do you use NTSC format or PAL format?). Read this guide: http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/userguides/91597.php
It will give you step by step instructions to convert your divx file to a better picture than what you are getting now. Instead of waiting until the entire process is complete, encode about 5-10 minutes of it, burn it using nero(if you get an error that it is not in compliance, then there is something not being done in TMPGENC) as a VCD and then report back on your findings. I'll let you know now that it will not look perfect, but it will be better than what you have now. -
thx
eeh holland=pal sys tv's are 4:3=640x480
i try what you have said ...again thx for answer

ummm i have stll qwestion left... the org *.avi =640x272
so original is it ntsc?
possible to make 640x480 pal 4:3 cbs 2300 audio 180; mpeg2
suppose it's a good(best) qwalitie caurse org avi=640x272?
svcd=higher resolution that's why i want svcd(or am i wrong)
the svcd previous made is ok ....
is it possible to chanse the 25fps
(caurse is for pal..?) then my problems are solved?(blokkie corners in move)
thx -
That resolution doesn't conform to NTSC or PAL standards. Aside from 1 or 2 standalone DVD players that just came out, no DVD player will play DIVX. DIVX is primary(only-except as above) used for computer viewing only. Divx files come in many different flavors and since it is something that can be viewed on a computer, people can do a number of things to them to where they play fine on a computer, but on a dvd player (without tweeking) they wont work at all or look like crap when converted to an mpeg file.
I don't know if this is just for Holland, but I always thought the TV resolutions for PAL (and I can only speak from what I read) was 352x288 or 480 x 576 or (whatever the dvd one is). Are you sure that the TV resolution is 640x480. I just say that because that is a common capture rate on my capture apps, but anyway......
With your question on wanting to get the higher resolution and wanting SVCD, it all depends on what the source is. Your best results will come from when you downsize the source to your final encoded file. When you resize up from 640x272, the question to ask yourself is where is the missing resolution going to come from. Nowhere. Also, if the bitrate of the source is say 1100 bits a second, and you do constant bit rate of 2300, where are the other 1200 bits going to come from. An analogy was used awhile back that fits pretty well here. Pretend that your source is a picture on a balloon and the balloon while deflated is 1100 bits, you then blow the balloon up to 2300 bits, the picture on the balloon will look worse then when it was smaller. Hope that helps.
In my opinion, your best bet is to determine what your actual source is. You will want to know what the resolution size is, the kbits per second, the audio, AND the frame rate. Thats a whole other thing, if the divx file is, say 11 frames a second(which works fine on a computer but isnt a for a VCD or SVCD which is 25 fps), you will need to add 14 frames a second to the film(during your conversion in TMPGENC-which is partly why the file size gets bigger). If you use the guide link that I gave you in the previous post and check the other pieces, you will get the best quality mpeg file out of your source.
When you said "possible to change the 25fps", what was the original frame rate on the divx file(kinda what I was saying above)
Unles the divx is real high quality (rule of thumb would be that a "normal" movie would by in the range of 600-700mb), you are going to get blocks and whatnot.
Again, I would really recommend using that guide link that I sent you as it should take care of your issues.
